Chapter 1985: Hugging Her

Bo Cixue felt that her dignified and elegant image of a lady had been completely ruined.

It was fine even if she had done that in front of Ye Jie, but the main point was that Ye Shao, Tang Mo, and the rest were in the room.

Bo Cixue rubbed her eyes and walked behind Ye Shao, looking at him with a gentle smile. “Brother Shao, forget what you just heard. Sister Cixue is still very gentle and self-restrained.”

Ye Shao glanced at Bo Cixue with a smile. “I feel that Sister Cixue has changed a lot after coming back this time.”

Bo Cixue raised her eyebrows. “What changed?”

“You’re getting prettier.”

“Brother Shao is such a good talker.” Glancing at the chips on Ye Shao’s table, his smile widened. “Brother Shao is quite lucky tonight.”

Ye Shao hummed. “Boss is in a worse state.”

Bo Cixue glanced at Ye Jie. His chips had almost been emptied.

Tang Mo secretly looked at Bo Cixue and Ye Jie. He found that Bo Cixue was not as enthusiastic about Ye Jie as before after coming back this time.

Tang Mo looked at Ye Jie and saw that his dark eyes were on Bo Cixue, but Bo Cixue did not meet his eyes.“Cixue, help His Highness get lucky.”

Bo Cixue was speechless and was about to say something when it was Ye Jie’s turn to play. He did not move but leaned back against the chair.

“Sister Cixue, go and help Brother get one. He hasn’t won a single round since the game started.”

Bo Cixue was speechless. Why was his luck so bad?

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Bo Cixue could not refuse.

She would not become enemies with Ye Jie even if they could not be lovers.

Although there had been some unhappiness in the forest, she did not take it to heart.

Bo Cixue walked behind Ye Jie and bent down slightly, preparing to play.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jie suddenly turned his head to look at her. When she bent over, she inevitably touched his shoulder and they were very close. With his head turned, his lips almost landed on her neck and his warm breath sprayed out, making goosebumps appear on her skin.

If she dodged now, it would seem like something was wrong.

She gritted her teeth and quickly fumbled for a tile.She touched the bottom of the tile with her thumb and forgot the embarrassment just now, saying with a smile, “Concealed Gong.”

Since that was the case, Bo Cixue drew another tile.

“Hahaha. Self-pick. They’re a set.”

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded.

Tang Mo was the first to react. “Sister Cixue, it seems like you’ve played a lot of mahjong. We don’t need to look to know that you’re trained.”

Bo Cixue’s smile froze on her face.

She had made a mistake because she had drunk.

Her good image was completely gone.

Looking for young hunks, drinking, scolding and playing mahjong…

This… How was this something a young lady should do?

Under the gaze of everyone, Bo Cixue numbly, “You guys go ahead. I’m going to the washroom.”Coming out of the room, Bo Cixue let out a long sigh of relief.

In the washroom, Bo Cixue stood in front of the sink and washed her face with cold water.

She should return to school in two days!

Bo Cixue came out of the washroom but did not return to the room immediately.

She planned to stand outside for a while before sending a message to Tang Wu, asking her to take her bag out.

Bo Cixue walked to the terrace garden and put her hands on the railing.

There was a faint smell of tobacco.

Bo Cixue looked up and saw a tall figure leaning against the railing beside her. She was slightly stunned.

She reacted very quickly. “Brother Xiaojie, you came out to smoke? I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go back to the room first.”

Before the other party could say anything, Bo Cixue left the terrace.

She passed by a long corridor and was about to turn when her wrist was grabbed by the man behind her.Bo Cixue struggled but could not break free.

Alright, she would not compete with someone who had been to the training camp.

Turning around, she smiled brightly at him. “Brother Xiaojie, what are you doing?”

“Let’s talk.” He looked at her with an unreadable expression.

“Let go of me first.”

He let go of her wrist.

Bo Cixue was about to leave, but the next second, she was grabbed with a strong force. As she was pulled back, her slender back hit the wall and the man put his hands on both sides of her head.

From afar, she looked like she was wrapped in the man’s embrace.

Bo Cixue looked up. The man’s cold and dark eyes stared fixedly at her and her breath tightened.

The man stood against the light, the smooth lines from his shoulders to his arms casting a shadow over Bo Cixue. He was wearing a white shirt with the buttons buttoned neatly, the protruding Adam’s apple of his neck prominent. His sleeves were rolled up slightly, revealing his firm forearms and the expensive watch on his left wrist.

Bo Cixue’s hands were a little helpless and did not know where to put them. Under the dim light, their eyes were intertwined and looked very intimate.“Is this how you talk to me?” Bo Cixue asked, pretending to be relaxed.

“I gave you a chance, but you were the one who wanted to run away.” He smirked, his smile faint but it was a smile that was unreadable. “You don’t dare to be alone with me?”

His voice was slightly hoarse in such an environment and sounded magnetic and attractive to Bo Cixue’s ears. She was secretly angry. Did she have to submit to him just because his attitude was softer than usual?

She was really used to being enslaved to him.

“Who says I don’t dare to?”

His smile widened. “I dare you.”

When he smiled, there was a faint dimple on his left cheek. It was just that he seldom smiled and many people did not know about it. But she knew. She had once thought that his dimple was very charming and every time she saw him smile, she felt like she had the whole world.

“Brother Xiaojie, I think you should get a girlfriend soon.” She did not smile at him, but said seriously, “If you do this, I’ll misunderstand that you’re flirting with your sister.”

He hummed softly.

Bo Cixue widened her eyes. He hummed again. Did this mean that he did not know what she meant?

“Brother Xiaojie, I think you’re drunk.”

“I didn’t drink.” He gave a low laugh.

He was laughing again!

Was he doing this to test her?

“It’s my birthday soon,” he said.

Bo Cixue could not follow his thoughts. “Don’t worry, even if I’m in M Country, I will prepare gifts to be sent to the palace.”

He looked at her clear and bright doe eyes. “The newest mauve-colored coat from Willy.”

Bo Cixue was speechless.

“You wear mauve-colored clothes?”

She tried to imagine how he would look in the mauve. His skin was slightly fair and his figure was perfect. He would probably look good in it.

Wait a minute!

Wasn’t that her gift to Sikong Ling yesterday?

How did he know?

“You saw me taking Sikong Ling for a ride yesterday?”

“You didn’t want me to see it?”

Bo Cixue covered her face with her hands. “I-I…”

Before Bo Cixue could finish, she suddenly heard a voice. “Mrs Bo, don’t worry. My nephew is gentle and elegant and will soon be promoted to the Deputy Head of the Royal Hospital. He is outstanding in appearance, knowledge, and speech.”

“Mm, I’ll talk to our Little Apple tonight so they can meet first.”

Bo Cixue did not have time to think about what Yan Hua meant. She only knew that she could not let her mother see her with Ye Jie.

Bo Cixue wanted to push Ye Jie away, but he stood still.

She glared at him and lowered her voice. “My mom is here.”

Ye Jie looked at her wanting to escape and narrowed his dark eyes slightly. “So what?”

Bo Cixue was stunned by his words.

So what if her mother was here?

Good, you’re the Crown Prince above everyone else. You’re great!

“Let go, I want to hide in the washroom.”

The man seemed to have not heard her. He looked down at her, his dark eyes calm. “Yesterday, you paid for the man who hit on you. In the afternoon, you brought Sikong Lingbiao’s car and gave him clothes. Tonight, you came to the clubhouse to ask for company. Your life is more interesting than I thought.”

He stated calmly about what she had done in the past two days, his tone as if he was discussing the weather, apart from the slight ridicule and coldness.

Bo Cixue’s lips twitched. She was worried that Yan Hua would find her, but at the same time, she was shocked. She did not expect him to have been at the Western restaurant yesterday.

Was he the one who had paid for her?

“So what? I’m popular after all.” She found herself getting more and more shameless.

Hearing her words, he smirked.

He seemed to be amused by her shamelessness.

His slender fingers suddenly lifted her chin.

Bo Cixue was dumbfounded.

How could he do such a domineering action?

She panicked and raised her hand to grab his hand that was pinching her chin.

Seeing Yan Hua coming around the corner with a rich lady from the corner of her eye, she was almost in tears.

“Brother Xiaojie, this is immoral. Can’t we just be childhood sweethearts? Let go of me…”

Before she could finish, she fell into his arms.

The tip of her nose hit his chest and a refreshing scent filled her nose.

Her hands were placed on his seemingly thin but firm chest, pressing against his well-defined skin through his shirt.

Her heart seemed to hit her throat.

He did not know if it was because she was afraid of Yan Hua.

Yan Hua and the rich lady who spoke looked around the corner.

She saw a slender figure with her head lowered being hugged by a tall and handsome man. The man also had his head lowered, looking very intimate.

The rich lady frowned and muttered softly as she walked, “The young people nowadays should be more aware of their surroundings. Even if they can’t control themselves, they should go to a hotel and get a room.”

“It’s really hard on that young girl.”

Yan Hua glanced at the two men.

The woman could not see them at all. Yan Hua glanced at the man’s back and then at the woman’s legs.

Bo Cixue did not dare to breathe when her mother passed by. She buried her face into the man’s handsome chest and did not even dare to resist.

She only remembered the situation she was in when she heard that the footsteps had faded away.

Her hands grabbed the man’s shirt tightly, her face still buried in his arms. Her face was red from drinking, looking shy and angry.

Bo Cixue looked up and met the man’s deep and calm dark eyes.

Furious, she grabbed one of his arms and bit his wrist.
